Grandera was a good horse umrum but not a world beater.

Be a bit like us sending Mummify overseas.

We have never, and never will in the current climate, see a Fantastic Light, Dubai Millenium, Gallieni, Rock Of Gibraltar or Cigar in our big races.

We often hear we have a wonderful Carnival in the Spring, great crowds, etc etc. But we lack world class horses.

It's like playing Sheffield Shield cricket all season instead of test cricket - with the odd average County Cricketer making a guest appearance once in a while.
